That's not an exclusive issue with ATT. I was on Sprint and had plenty of text message delays. Wait 30 minutes - see if it's still an "issue". Sometimes things happen. A tower doesn't relay, the network is congested. The network isn't infallible.

And Times Square isn't a litmus test for whether or not you should get a signal. If anything, it's the opposite. More people/phones all connecting to the box in a limited area?
